At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 422 Secret Conspiracy

In fact, since he was hijacked by Gao Bufan last time and returned to the cottage, Xu Shiji realized that Zhai Rang, the leader, no longer trusted him unconditionally as before, and began to gradually withdraw part of his military power, even the newly formed cavalry. Instead, Zhai asked himself to lead it himself, and with Zhai Hong playing tricks everywhere, Xu Shiji had long been suffocated.

Today, Di Hong made another attack, not only intensified his wanton slander and insults, but even blatantly attacked him from behind, trying to kill himself. No matter how good-tempered Xu Shiji was, he couldn't help but explode. He had restrained himself enough if he didn't kill Zhai Hong with a sword on the spot. .

However, Zhai Hong's behavior only made Xu Shiji feel angry. What really chilled him was Jia Runfu's distrust. I mean to go!

Xu Shiji's long sleeves were stained with blood, and he strode forward with a three-foot green sword in his hand. No one dared to stop the Wagang army, and they all stepped out of the way. It can be seen that Xu Shiji's prestige in the village is indeed quite high.

Jia Runfu's complexion changed, and he hesitated to speak. He asked himself that he was not Xu Shiji's opponent, and the latter was quite prestigious in the cottage, and he had a deep friendship with Shan Xiongxin. If he was really killed, it would cause chaos, and the whole cottage would fall apart. If possible, it would be better to let him go!
Just like that, everyone watched Xu Shiji walk away, alone with his sword, and disappeared on the mountain path.

At this time, Zhai Hong finally woke up and turned around, moaning in pain, and asked, "Old Jia, where is this rebellious Xu Shiji?"

"Let's go!" Jia Runfu sighed secretly, with extremely complicated emotions. Although he doubted Xu Shiji, Xu Shiji's ability and contribution are obvious to all. His departure is undoubtedly a great loss for the cottage.

"Leaving?" Di Hong was very dissatisfied when he heard the words, and asked, "Old Jia, why did you let him go? Could it be that you were with him?"

A glint of displeasure flashed across Jia Runfu's eyes, and he finally realized Xu Shiji's mood at the moment, and suddenly felt an urge to chase Xu Shiji back, but Jia Runfu also understood that, based on his own face, he was afraid that chasing him would be his own fault. It's nothing more than humiliation, unless Shan Xiongxin, or the head of the family personally comes forward to persuade him to stay.

"Go back!" Jia Runfu ignored Zhai Hong, turned around and left with his men and horses.

"Old Jia, Jia Runfu, what the hell do you mean? You don't really belong to that rebellious boy Xu Shiji, do you?" Zhai Hong yelled loudly.

Jia Runfu couldn't help being very annoyed, he turned around suddenly and walked back, cursing sharply: "You stupid idiot, do you want me to kill you too?"

Zhai Hong shuddered cleverly, and said with a sneer, "Old Jia, it's just a joke, why take it seriously, you were the first to join the gang, earlier than Xu Shiji, how could I not believe you."

A trace of disdain flashed in Jia Runfu's eyes, and he suddenly felt that it would be a waste of time to say one more word to this idiot, so he turned around and left with his people.

"Bah, what an airy ass!" Di Hong spat secretly at Jia Runfu's back, and then sternly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you take me back to the cottage, haven't you seen Master Hong injured?"

Although Xu Shiji couldn't be killed in the end, it was good to drive him away, so Zhai Hong was in a good mood and was carried back to the village by his minions.

Let's say not long after Zhai Hong and the others left, three figures flashed out from the dark place. The head of the figure had a sharp forehead and a pair of sharp eyes that were black and white. and Wang Bodang.

It turned out that after the rebel trio left Yang Xuangan, they took a boat all the way south from Luoshui, and returned to Liyang to carry out activities. They were quite courageous.

Fang Yanzao stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect to see a good show by accident today. Wagang's strength is not bad, but it's a pity that Xu Shiji, the only general talent, was overwhelmed by a fool like Di Hong." I'm gone, but Gao Changqing's son is really sinister, he made a lot of chicken feathers in Wagang with just one mouth, we really have to be more careful when we meet this son in the future, so as not to fall into his way."

Fang Yanzao showed a dignified look when he said that, Wang Bodang was carrying two knives on his back, and he said disapprovingly: "It's nothing special, I can also play a fool like Zhai Hong in the palm of my hand."

Fang Yanzao glanced at Wang Bodang, and said with a sneer, "Speaking and doing are two different things. The most contemptible people are those who are self-righteous and self-righteous."

Wang Bodang couldn't help but his face darkened, revealing his anger, if Li Mi hadn't stopped him with a wink, he might have exploded on the spot.

Fang Yanzao has always had a high opinion of himself, and often thinks that his talents are underappreciated, and his personality is inevitably too aloof and harsh. Seeing Wang Bodang pushing himself in front of him, he felt upset, so he couldn't help being sarcastic.

Li Mi coughed lightly, and rounded up the situation: "Gao Changqing's son is not an ordinary man, whether in martial arts or ingenuity, he really should not be underestimated, but there is no need to be too jealous of him, if we do meet in the future, a certain family has its own way to deal with it. "

Fang Yanzao glanced at Wang Bodang, changed the topic and said, "With Pu Shangong's current reputation, if he took the initiative to join Wagang, Zhai Rang would definitely welcome him backwards."

Wang Bodang said coldly: "I don't think so, how can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the so-called couch, and Zhai Rang is not an idiot, how could he welcome Pu Shangong who is more famous and capable than him? Are you not afraid that his position as the head of the family will be lost?"

Fang Yanzao chuckled disdainfully and said, "Zhai Rang is a well-known person, he has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous, but he is extremely soft-hearted, has no ambitions, and is easy to be rich if he is small. If you really have to deal with this kind of person, maybe he is worse than an idiot. To be simpler, as long as Pu Shangong is willing, taking Wagang is like picking something out of a pocket."

When Uncle Wang heard the words, his heart became hot, and he didn't care about raising the bar. He immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to Wagang now. Such a good place is occupied by a group of mediocre people, it is simply a waste of money. "

Li Mi smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, after Xu Shiji left, no matter how unscrupulous Wagang is, the rest of Shan Xiongxin, Bing Yuanzhen, Wang Ruxin and others are just brave men, wait for me to plan a generous gift before going up the mountain It’s not too late, otherwise how can I win people’s trust?”

Fang Yanzao and Wang Bodang looked at each other, and said in unison: "The plan will come out?"

Li Mi smiled inscrutablely, but did not answer, but asked instead: "What does Zhai Rang want most now?"

Wang Bodang: "Food?"

Li Mi shook his head.

Wang Bodang: "Gold and silver treasures?"

Li Mi shook his head again.

Wang Bodang scratched his head and said, "Could it be a territory?"

Li Mi still shook his head, looking at Fang Yanzao, the latter's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Could it be a war horse?"

Li Mi nodded and smiled: "Xu Shiji ambushed Gao Changqing here, so he took a fancy to those horses. It can be seen that Zhai Rang is eager for war horses now."

Wang Bodang frowned and said, "War horses are expensive now, so it's really difficult to get them. It's easy to deal with if there are only a few horses."

Fang Yanzao sneered: "If it's just a few war horses, how can they show Pu Shangong's ability, and Zhai Rang will definitely look down on him."

Li Mi stroked his beard confidently and said with a smile: "We still have to wait for the right time, we can't rush it, now let's find a place to settle down, and then discuss it in the long run."

…………

Let's say that Gao Bufan and his party passed through Niujiaoao and continued to head northeast. On this day, they finally entered the boundary of Qinghe County.Gao Bufan called Yuchi Jingde to him and said: "The next door to Qinghe County is Bohai County, and I planned to go home to visit my parents, so General Yuchi led the brothers back to Zhuo County first, and I will arrive later."

Yuchi Jingde laughed and said: "So that's the way it should be, then the subordinate will lead everyone back to Zhuojun first, General Gao Lang can stay for a few more days, and just return before the twelfth lunar month."

After Gao Bufan gave a few more instructions, he parted ways with the large army and headed towards Yuxian County, Bohai County.

Family affection is one of the most cherished things in life. Gao Bufan is not a workaholic who "passes the house three times but never enters". Let's talk about his parents, especially in the case of extremely inconvenient transportation in ancient times, he would be away from home for a year and a half, so he naturally cherished the rare opportunity to get together.
